Congrats. That is a rare accomplishment. Hope you have many more happy days together.

Thanks Dick and Barb for invitation to your 57 anniversary at LumberJocks Hall. While here I thought I would take a walk around and look at all of your projects you have done down through the years. The Irish Claddagh you made for Barb really shows a symbol of Love, Friendship, & Loyalty along with the 55th Anniversary Plaque. And then the Sweetheart Swing. I can just see you two setting there injoying the view and thinking back on the 57 happy years. Thanks again for the invite. Now before I leave I think I will just take a walk around outside your place and take in the sites and smells of the end of winter.

-- Ron in Osseo, Minnesota

Happy anniversary guys!... That was a great slideshow!

Wow 57 years!!! Congrats.

-- The significant problems we face cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them

Congrats 57 times, and I hope you have many more together. This put a smile on my face!

-- Every cloud has a silver lining

My grand-parents have been in wedded bliss for 55 years now and I stated to Grand-ma over the weekend that they must have done something right through the years. I guess you and Barb did something right also. Congrats to both of you. I hope you both have many more!

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Wow – that’s a lot of mornings waking up with someone you love. Congratulations!

-- Betsy - There is no strength where there is no struggle

Barb, & I have been really enjoying our day, reading all of the great commentaries.

It’s been like a big family gathering..

We’re sure glad that the Lumberjocks Hall was large enough to accommodate everyone, but I’m sure we

wouldn’t have a problem with all of you Lumberjocks here, of knocking a wall down, & enlarging the place. LOL

By the way, we went through two kegs of nails, what a thirsty bunch.;o)

-- Dick Cain, Hibbing, MN. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/gallery/member.php?uid=3627&protype=1

I’m a little later than most but not the lesser is sending congratulations and good wishes.

Looking forward to what you show us next year on your 58th.

Lee

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Dick and Barb…..you have something that is very special these days. I can’t remember anyone that has been together that long. Congrats, all the best, and hopefully we will all be here for many, many more!

That is great. It is something that takes a lot of work. I’ve been married 11 yrs and it feels like 20 yrs (HAHA!). Couldn’t imagine what that would be like.

-- Something that goes unnoticed will never be remembered.

Barb and Dick, 1st a big CONGRADULATIONS on your 57 th wedding Annivesary…..Sounds like the two of you have had one tremendous and joyous, loving partnership together. May the two of you have more of the same for many more years ahead, you surely deserve it…..your brother in woodworking John

Congratulations love to see long marriages that is what is all about. I learned long time ago two simple words for a happy marriage “Yes Dear” and I say them with much love and admiration.

-- Ron Central, CA

Dick and Barb,
An old couple was celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary. The old fellow was about 100 but still in good health and sound mind. A television reporter asked him to what he attributed his longevity. The old boy answered,” Well sir, I’ll tell ya. When Gert and I got married we agreed that if one of us got mad at the other , the other one would go outside. I guess I can attribute my long life to an abundance of fresh air.”

-- Thos. Angle, Owyhee Design, Oregon

Thomas! LOL!

They couldn’t have been from MN. He would have froze to death.

-- Dick Cain, Hibbing, MN. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/gallery/member.php?uid=3627&protype=1
